# Anthropic's Claude

**Claude** (from the AI lab **Anthropic**) is cited by the author as one of the *earliest examples* of a [[concept-large-action-models|Large Action Model (LAM)]] — designed to directly interact with code and digital tools to perform actions within software applications like web browsers.

**Role in this source:** Illustrative example of the LLM→LAM transition toward agentic, action-taking AI.

> *Enrichment caveat:* This label should be treated carefully. In standard AI vocabulary, **Claude is more accurately described as an LLM / tool-using assistant** than a canonical "LAM," and "LAM" itself is non-standard terminology. Anthropic (the organization) is distinct from Claude (the product); the extraction combines them under this single entity. For a cleaner example of the action-execution idea, see [[entity-adept-act-1|Adept.ai ACT-1]].
